John, List: JFS: That definition shows that two things that have the same mark are two tokens of the same type.
This is another reason why "tone" is a better choice than "mark" for "an indefinite significant character such as a tone of voice." Two things can have *different *tones, yet be tokens of the *same *type; and two things can have (some of) the *same *tones, yet be tokens of *different *types. JFS: It confirms Peirce's final choice. Indeed--his final choice of "tone" (R 339, 27 Dec 1908, https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:15255301$636i).
